Rona Cashway's under14 girls suffered a narrow loss to King City Aug. 9.

King City took a well deserved two-goal lead into the second half. Schomberg fought valiantly and Chesney Alexander scored a goal, to make it 2-1. Schomberg kept pressing but could not break through.

Then with seconds remaining, Schomberg sent

all players in for a corner kick, and just narrowly missed scoring with the last shot of the game. In a very exciting match, notable mention goes to Caitlin Ivany in goal and Janessa Makarenko and Olivia Chilese who played an outstandingly strong game.

The two under-8 boys' teams of Deville Electric, and Den Bosch and Finchley matched up at Kettleby Public School Thursday.

Ryan Schmied scored the first goal of the game for Den Bosch and Finchley with a cracking penalty kick. The talented Carter Smith tied the game up for Deville Electric with a break-away goal in the first half.

The Den Bosch & Finchley crew played a very strong second half. The combined efforts of Nick Bigelli and Evan Nugent on offence lead to a tenacious goal on a picked-up rebound from Evan Nugent. Jacob Jung continued the goal scoring with a stunning break-away goal to make it 3-1 for Den Bosch and Finchley.

Notable mention goes to Connor Tackaberry for consistent strong effort both offensively and defensively, Thomas Rea for excellent defensive play and a personal best effort for Duncan McDougall.
